Animal Crossing releasing for 3DS in 2013

Animal Crossing is arriving for 3DS in North America next year.

The life simulation game will launch a bit earlier, in November of this year. In the new version, you act as the major of your own town, giving you control over its growth and community. A number of new customization options are available, as well.

Nintendo of America revealed via Twitter that the game will release in the first half of 2013. It has yet to be given an official name.

The first Animal Crossing debuted in America in 2002 for GameCube.
